af226 Posted September 17, 2012 Share #1 Posted September 17, 2012 Do the air collars on the front forks just slide up and off to remove the forks?? They don't seem to move. I sprayed some wd40 on the but still nothing. Trying to get them out for my guy to rebuild. Ideas, a little tap up to convince maybe?? Tx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonestarmedic Posted September 17, 2012 Share #2 Posted September 17, 2012 You have o-rings inside that may be stuck to the tubes. Also, there are 2 thin round retaining rings in grooves milled into the tubes. The air collars will pull upward to remove, then you can see the wire retaining rings. These will need to come out before you can drop the fork tubes out the bottom. Watch the crossover air line. It has one rigid fitting and one swivel. It is probably a bit stiff and can be damaged. I disconnect the air lines and then twist/rotate the collars a bit to loosen the o-rings. then pull off. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
